Pics of Baby Joshua born today!

Comment Published at 02:2302:2342 comments42 comments157 Visits157 VisitsReport

Rachel was induced this morning and less than 2 hrs later out "popped" baby Joshua Ambrose Cook. Well not really "popped", there were a few major concerns with his heart beat and oxygen levels, and a bunch more people rushed in, but the baby was delivered swiftly..... Joshua finally started crying after what seemed liked the longest minute of my life so far (and then I finally stopped crying), and now baby and mom/mum are doing just fine!

And here are the photos...

What awesome photo's  of the miracle of new life....welcome Joshua and a big Congratulations to Mum & Dad.

The smiles on  both your faces, speaks for them selves.....hey Rachel i thought after having a C-section, you are meant to be lying down and resting, not up out of bed. I do hope you  can take the opportunity to rest, where possible, while in hospital.

Thanks for sharing this magic moment.

Love Janice

Re: Pics of Baby Joshua born today!

thanks for the kind words.

she didn't have a c-section though. she was induced and very soon after the contractions started and then it was game on for pushing not that long after that.

because it was so fast he got distressed and the heart beat started dropping fast, so the OB used the suction and pulled him out... he was very weak and hardly breathing when he came out and i was starting to really worry, thankfully he recovered quickly, and within an hr was happily on the breast feeding.

i better get off the computer, and get Codi to bed. nite nite all...
